in reply to Separating 'real' errors from ..err.. 'unreal'?

You could wrap your call to PPM::Installer in a block and do the following:
{ no warnings 'uninitialized'; PPM::Installer->whatever(...); }

    I was also trying to selectively pipe STDERR to /dev/null but Im getting a "The system cannot find the path specified." error from calling a command that includes "2>/dev/null" in it. I tried with both back-ticks and 'system'.

    I'll give your idea a try. Thanks.

    Addendum: worked great! Thanks **2
      To redirect STDERR to the null device on windows you need to do it as 2>nul.

      Cheers,
